What are your plans for re-tirement Most of us envision this time spent with loved ones travel-ing playing with grandchildren or learning a new hobby We do not picture ourselves in a hospital or feeling ill but this can be the reality for many older adults Inactivity or a poor diet are the leading causes of chronic health conditions but the good news is that frailty dete-rioration and disease are not an in-evitable part of aging While many
of us may have access to excellent medical care to rely on treatments and disease detection as our only plan for a healthy retirement would be a mistake Health providers and wellness professionals know that fo-cusing on prevention can help you stay well be t and engage in the ac-tivities that bring you joy into your 80rsquos and 90rsquos even with a chronic disease e challenge is getting people to take the steps and make choices that lead to a healthy body and mind e earlier you start the better but itrsquos never too late to devel-op healthy habits and take control of
your health One option available in South-eastern Minnesota is to enroll in an evidence-based healthy living pro-gram through WellConnect which is a partnership of health providers public health the Area Agency on Aging community members and many other organizations and en-tities in Southeastern Minnesota WellConnect works to connect pa-tients and community members to these bene cial community pro-grams Participants are showing improvements in health and wellbe-ing and lowering their health care

Is your file cabinet already full Do you have boxes of old papers you are wondering whether to keep or toss Every year or so files of valuable papers should be ldquopurgedrdquo sorted and organized Divide items in to three categories immediate or current use semi-permanent and permanent- cannot lose or ir-replaceable Current or handy use files might include the monthly bills bank statements loan and lease re-cords sales receipts and warranties for recently purchased items auto service records health claims pet records computer passwords mem-berships or other records
The things one might annually toss would be bull Bills or receipts that arepaid and recorded in your account book Donrsquot throw away records that
are needed for proof of ownership resale value income tax or reference however bull Banks statements andtransaction receipts for closed ac-counts or which are no longer meaningful bull Records of appliances orautos that have been replaced bull Expired warranties andcoupons obsolete policies and booklets bull Salesslips thathavebeenrecorded in your account book bull Cancelledchecksthatarenot needed for proof of purchase or income tax purposes These might be checks for groceries cash gas or other items used up
Items that should go from a handy regularly used file to a more permanent file would in-clude bull Past taxreturnsandsup-porting documentation The IRShas three years in which to audit federal tax returns but this limit does not apply if you failed to file
filed a fraudulent return or failed to report more than 25 of gross income Some financial experts rec-ommend keeping tax records for 6 years bull Health and dental insur-ance ex-p l a n a t i o n of benefits and satisfied claims if important to you for your own record Some people may want to keep a health log or diary that would record clinic and doctor informa-tion doctor visits health concerns prescription information allergies immunizations etc bull Account books for refer-ence or comparison for example energy or utility use record house-hold inventories bull Insurancepoliciessorted
by type bull Education and employ-ment records bull Credit card informationPIN numbers Privacy policies ifyou want to opt out of their mailing
lists
Eve n more per-manent files usually one of a kind are records that are irreplace-able or would take a lot of ef-fort to replace Store these in a theft proof and

(MS) A balanced diet is an in-tegral element of a healthy lifestyle for men women and children alike But while kids and young adults might be able to get away with an extra cheeseburger here or there men and women approaching 50 have less leeway According to the National In-stitute on Aging simply counting calories without regard for the foods being consumed is not enough for men and women 50 and older to maintain their long-term health Rather the NIA emphasizes the importance of choosing low-calorie foods that have a lot of the nutrients the body needs But counting calories can be an e ective and simple way to maintain a healthy weight provided those calories are coming from nutrient-rich foods e NIA advises men and women over 50 adhere to the following daily calorie intake rec-ommendations as they attempt to stay healthy into their golden years
Women
bull Not physically active 1600 calories bull Somewhat active 1800 calo-ries bull Active lifestyle between 2000 and 2200 calories
Men bull Not physically active 2000 calories bull Somewhat active between 2200 and 2400 calories bull Active lifestyle between 2400 and 2800 calories
When choosing foods to eat the NIA recommends eating many di erent colors and types of veg-etables and fruits Phytochemicals are substances that occur naturally in plants and there are thousands of these substances o ering vari-ous bene ts e Produce for Better Health Foundation notes that a var-ied colorful diet incorporates lots of di erent types of phytochemicals which the PBH says have disease-preventing properties e NIA also advises that men
and women over 50 make sure at least half the grains in their diets are whole grains Numerous studies have discovered the various bene ts of whole grains which are loaded with protein ber antioxidants and other nutrients Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk for diseases such as type 2 diabetes heart disease and some types of can-cer Another potential hurdle men and women over 50 may encounter is a change in their sense of smell and taste A personrsquos sense of smell may fade with age and because smell and taste are so closely relat-ed foods enjoyed for years may no longer tantalize the taste buds at can be problematic as many people instinctually add more salt to foods
they nd bland According to the US O ce of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion older adults should consume no more than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day at equates to roughly 34 teaspoon of salt Older men and women should resist the temptation to use salt to add avor to foods instead opting for healthy foods that they can still smell and taste In addition men and women should mention any loss of their sense of smell to their physicians as such a loss may indi-cate the presence of Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease or Alzheimerrsquos disease Maintaining a healthy diet af-ter 50 may require some hard work and discipline But the long-term bene ts of a healthy diet make the extra e ort well worth it

(MS) Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an ef-fort to prevent or delay the cogni-tive decline that a ects millions of seniors across the globe Itrsquos easy to overlook the impor-tance of keeping the brain healthy However a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration memory loss and a host of other is-sues Sometimes by the time symp-toms present themselves it may be too late to reverse any damage Research suggests that a com-bination of nutrition and mental social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity Har-vard Medical School also states that volunteering caring for others and pursuing hobbies may bene t the brains of older adults
A study published in the Ar-chives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal pro-tein depositions (amyloid plaques and neuro brillary tangles) in the brain a hallmark of Alzheimerrsquos disease Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Al-zheimerrsquos disease In addition to the suggestions mentioned above those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies bull Start exercising the brain ear-ly on A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal exam-ined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70 Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants Itrsquos never too early to put a brain health plan into motion bull Read more books Reading
can open individuals up to new vo-cabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability Enrolling in an education course at a local college community center or online also may be bene cial bull Hit the gym Several stud-ies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline is could be because exercise elevates heart rate which pumps more blood to the brain and body bull Supplement with DHA DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dom-inant in the brain Adhere to a Med-iterranean diet which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3 including sh and mono-unsatu-rated fats from olives olive oil nuts
and seeds Supplements also may help but individuals should con-sult with their doctors about which products to take bull Challenge the mind Men and women can engage in challeng-ing activities that stray from their routines Puzzles strategic games jigsaw puzzles or di cult hobbies can bene t the brain bull Keep a close-knit group of friends Regular conversation and social interaction is a key compo-nent of any brain health wellness planSlowing cognitive decline and pro-moting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages
Doing jigsaw and crossword puzzles can keep the brain sharp

(MS) When the time comes to bid farewell to conference calls meetings and daily commutes retir-ees have open schedules to ll with whichever activities they choose Travel is one exciting way to pass the time Traveling can be a rewarding prospect for active seniors particu-larly those who successfully pre-planned for retirement and have the income to fund various excursions Many seniors both in the United States and Canada nd that travel tops their to-do lists once they re-tire According to Senior Travel magazine new travel options are emerging for newly minted retirees looking for something a little di er-ent from the status quo e list of destinations retirees have at their disposal is limitless e following ideas are some of the more popular ways retirees choose
to travel bull Road trips rule Taking to the highways and byways is an excellent way to see the country Seniors can customize their routes depending on which places they want to visit RV travel can be as comfortable or as rustic as travelers prefer Many seniors spend months traveling in their campers which o er many of the same amenities of home Camp-sites and special RV hook-up sites o er the other necessities of travel-ing the open road bull Genealogical tourism is pop-ular People hoping to trace their ancestry and visit their ancestral homelands are one of the fastest-growing travel segments Visiting an old church in Europe where an-cestors were married or buying food from a market in which a great aunt or uncle once worked leads retirees on many international adventures
Such trips provide travelers with a unique opportunity to understand their roots up close and personal while enjoying some international travel along the way bull Exotic tours can be excit-ing destinations History bu s or adventure-seeking couples may be particularly attracted to exotic travel destinations that are slightly o of the beaten path Travel tours may take vacationers to destina-tions such as excavation sites or backpacking through the rainforest With passport in hand seniors can go just about anywhere their desires take them bull Enjoy a relaxing seaside trip A seaside vacation can be the per-fect trip for seniors who want to put their feet up and sip some cocktails while watching the waves lap the shores Many beach resorts o er all-inclusive packages for di erent age
groups Meals excursions and hotel rooms can be bundled into one af-fordable confusion-free price bull Go cruising Speaking of all-inclusive vacationing cruising seems tailor-made for those ages 50 and older because it o ers the con-venience of accommodations food entertainment and transportation all in one e various activities of-fered on the ship mean travelers can nd ways to spend their time how they see t Cruising couples can opt to spend all of their time on the ship enjoying carefully prepared meals and entertainment or disembark and explore the various ports of call along the way Now that they have more free time retirees can gear up for travel adventures to remember

High blood pressure is a big problem According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure In Canada in 2014 slightly less than 18 percent of Ca-nadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure While such figures might be frightening Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that there are some sim-ple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure bullOptforheart-healthyfoodsInstead of foods that are high in sodium eat a diet that is rich in whole grains fruits vegetables and lean proteins Check labels be-fore buying prepared foods at the grocery store as many such foods are high in sodium bullLookforfoodsthatcontainprobiotics Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure Probiot-ics are consumable live bacteria and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing researchers believe probiotics may
produce chemicals that when ab-sorbed in the blood stream may activate receptors in the blood ves-sels to lower blood pressure bull Lose weight People withhigh blood pressure who are car-rying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates ex-tra weight can cause injury to the heart Dropping those pounds especially through physical activ-ity that can boost heart health can help men and women lower their blood pressure

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

What are your plans for re-tirement Most of us envision this time spent with loved ones travel-ing playing with grandchildren or learning a new hobby We do not picture ourselves in a hospital or feeling ill but this can be the reality for many older adults Inactivity or a poor diet are the leading causes of chronic health conditions but the good news is that frailty dete-rioration and disease are not an in-evitable part of aging While many
of us may have access to excellent medical care to rely on treatments and disease detection as our only plan for a healthy retirement would be a mistake Health providers and wellness professionals know that fo-cusing on prevention can help you stay well be t and engage in the ac-tivities that bring you joy into your 80rsquos and 90rsquos even with a chronic disease e challenge is getting people to take the steps and make choices that lead to a healthy body and mind e earlier you start the better but itrsquos never too late to devel-op healthy habits and take control of
your health One option available in South-eastern Minnesota is to enroll in an evidence-based healthy living pro-gram through WellConnect which is a partnership of health providers public health the Area Agency on Aging community members and many other organizations and en-tities in Southeastern Minnesota WellConnect works to connect pa-tients and community members to these bene cial community pro-grams Participants are showing improvements in health and wellbe-ing and lowering their health care
costs in the process which is a win for everyone WellConnect currently has workshops for chronic disease man-agement fall prevention diabetes management and prevention Statis-tics show that chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and ac-count for 75 of the nationrsquos health care spending A Living Well With Chronic Conditions workshop can help you manage your ongoing health concerns and give you tools

Is your file cabinet already full Do you have boxes of old papers you are wondering whether to keep or toss Every year or so files of valuable papers should be ldquopurgedrdquo sorted and organized Divide items in to three categories immediate or current use semi-permanent and permanent- cannot lose or ir-replaceable Current or handy use files might include the monthly bills bank statements loan and lease re-cords sales receipts and warranties for recently purchased items auto service records health claims pet records computer passwords mem-berships or other records
The things one might annually toss would be bull Bills or receipts that arepaid and recorded in your account book Donrsquot throw away records that
are needed for proof of ownership resale value income tax or reference however bull Banks statements andtransaction receipts for closed ac-counts or which are no longer meaningful bull Records of appliances orautos that have been replaced bull Expired warranties andcoupons obsolete policies and booklets bull Salesslips thathavebeenrecorded in your account book bull Cancelledchecksthatarenot needed for proof of purchase or income tax purposes These might be checks for groceries cash gas or other items used up
Items that should go from a handy regularly used file to a more permanent file would in-clude bull Past taxreturnsandsup-porting documentation The IRShas three years in which to audit federal tax returns but this limit does not apply if you failed to file
filed a fraudulent return or failed to report more than 25 of gross income Some financial experts rec-ommend keeping tax records for 6 years bull Health and dental insur-ance ex-p l a n a t i o n of benefits and satisfied claims if important to you for your own record Some people may want to keep a health log or diary that would record clinic and doctor informa-tion doctor visits health concerns prescription information allergies immunizations etc bull Account books for refer-ence or comparison for example energy or utility use record house-hold inventories bull Insurancepoliciessorted

(MS) A balanced diet is an in-tegral element of a healthy lifestyle for men women and children alike But while kids and young adults might be able to get away with an extra cheeseburger here or there men and women approaching 50 have less leeway According to the National In-stitute on Aging simply counting calories without regard for the foods being consumed is not enough for men and women 50 and older to maintain their long-term health Rather the NIA emphasizes the importance of choosing low-calorie foods that have a lot of the nutrients the body needs But counting calories can be an e ective and simple way to maintain a healthy weight provided those calories are coming from nutrient-rich foods e NIA advises men and women over 50 adhere to the following daily calorie intake rec-ommendations as they attempt to stay healthy into their golden years
Women
bull Not physically active 1600 calories bull Somewhat active 1800 calo-ries bull Active lifestyle between 2000 and 2200 calories
Men bull Not physically active 2000 calories bull Somewhat active between 2200 and 2400 calories bull Active lifestyle between 2400 and 2800 calories
When choosing foods to eat the NIA recommends eating many di erent colors and types of veg-etables and fruits Phytochemicals are substances that occur naturally in plants and there are thousands of these substances o ering vari-ous bene ts e Produce for Better Health Foundation notes that a var-ied colorful diet incorporates lots of di erent types of phytochemicals which the PBH says have disease-preventing properties e NIA also advises that men
and women over 50 make sure at least half the grains in their diets are whole grains Numerous studies have discovered the various bene ts of whole grains which are loaded with protein ber antioxidants and other nutrients Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk for diseases such as type 2 diabetes heart disease and some types of can-cer Another potential hurdle men and women over 50 may encounter is a change in their sense of smell and taste A personrsquos sense of smell may fade with age and because smell and taste are so closely relat-ed foods enjoyed for years may no longer tantalize the taste buds at can be problematic as many people instinctually add more salt to foods
they nd bland According to the US O ce of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion older adults should consume no more than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day at equates to roughly 34 teaspoon of salt Older men and women should resist the temptation to use salt to add avor to foods instead opting for healthy foods that they can still smell and taste In addition men and women should mention any loss of their sense of smell to their physicians as such a loss may indi-cate the presence of Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease or Alzheimerrsquos disease Maintaining a healthy diet af-ter 50 may require some hard work and discipline But the long-term bene ts of a healthy diet make the extra e ort well worth it

(MS) Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an ef-fort to prevent or delay the cogni-tive decline that a ects millions of seniors across the globe Itrsquos easy to overlook the impor-tance of keeping the brain healthy However a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration memory loss and a host of other is-sues Sometimes by the time symp-toms present themselves it may be too late to reverse any damage Research suggests that a com-bination of nutrition and mental social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity Har-vard Medical School also states that volunteering caring for others and pursuing hobbies may bene t the brains of older adults
A study published in the Ar-chives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal pro-tein depositions (amyloid plaques and neuro brillary tangles) in the brain a hallmark of Alzheimerrsquos disease Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Al-zheimerrsquos disease In addition to the suggestions mentioned above those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies bull Start exercising the brain ear-ly on A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal exam-ined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70 Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants Itrsquos never too early to put a brain health plan into motion bull Read more books Reading
can open individuals up to new vo-cabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability Enrolling in an education course at a local college community center or online also may be bene cial bull Hit the gym Several stud-ies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline is could be because exercise elevates heart rate which pumps more blood to the brain and body bull Supplement with DHA DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dom-inant in the brain Adhere to a Med-iterranean diet which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3 including sh and mono-unsatu-rated fats from olives olive oil nuts
and seeds Supplements also may help but individuals should con-sult with their doctors about which products to take bull Challenge the mind Men and women can engage in challeng-ing activities that stray from their routines Puzzles strategic games jigsaw puzzles or di cult hobbies can bene t the brain bull Keep a close-knit group of friends Regular conversation and social interaction is a key compo-nent of any brain health wellness planSlowing cognitive decline and pro-moting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages

(MS) When the time comes to bid farewell to conference calls meetings and daily commutes retir-ees have open schedules to ll with whichever activities they choose Travel is one exciting way to pass the time Traveling can be a rewarding prospect for active seniors particu-larly those who successfully pre-planned for retirement and have the income to fund various excursions Many seniors both in the United States and Canada nd that travel tops their to-do lists once they re-tire According to Senior Travel magazine new travel options are emerging for newly minted retirees looking for something a little di er-ent from the status quo e list of destinations retirees have at their disposal is limitless e following ideas are some of the more popular ways retirees choose

Such trips provide travelers with a unique opportunity to understand their roots up close and personal while enjoying some international travel along the way bull Exotic tours can be excit-ing destinations History bu s or adventure-seeking couples may be particularly attracted to exotic travel destinations that are slightly o of the beaten path Travel tours may take vacationers to destina-tions such as excavation sites or backpacking through the rainforest With passport in hand seniors can go just about anywhere their desires take them bull Enjoy a relaxing seaside trip A seaside vacation can be the per-fect trip for seniors who want to put their feet up and sip some cocktails while watching the waves lap the shores Many beach resorts o er all-inclusive packages for di erent age

Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

What are your plans for re-tirement Most of us envision this time spent with loved ones travel-ing playing with grandchildren or learning a new hobby We do not picture ourselves in a hospital or feeling ill but this can be the reality for many older adults Inactivity or a poor diet are the leading causes of chronic health conditions but the good news is that frailty dete-rioration and disease are not an in-evitable part of aging While many
of us may have access to excellent medical care to rely on treatments and disease detection as our only plan for a healthy retirement would be a mistake Health providers and wellness professionals know that fo-cusing on prevention can help you stay well be t and engage in the ac-tivities that bring you joy into your 80rsquos and 90rsquos even with a chronic disease e challenge is getting people to take the steps and make choices that lead to a healthy body and mind e earlier you start the better but itrsquos never too late to devel-op healthy habits and take control of
your health One option available in South-eastern Minnesota is to enroll in an evidence-based healthy living pro-gram through WellConnect which is a partnership of health providers public health the Area Agency on Aging community members and many other organizations and en-tities in Southeastern Minnesota WellConnect works to connect pa-tients and community members to these bene cial community pro-grams Participants are showing improvements in health and wellbe-ing and lowering their health care

Is your file cabinet already full Do you have boxes of old papers you are wondering whether to keep or toss Every year or so files of valuable papers should be ldquopurgedrdquo sorted and organized Divide items in to three categories immediate or current use semi-permanent and permanent- cannot lose or ir-replaceable Current or handy use files might include the monthly bills bank statements loan and lease re-cords sales receipts and warranties for recently purchased items auto service records health claims pet records computer passwords mem-berships or other records
The things one might annually toss would be bull Bills or receipts that arepaid and recorded in your account book Donrsquot throw away records that
are needed for proof of ownership resale value income tax or reference however bull Banks statements andtransaction receipts for closed ac-counts or which are no longer meaningful bull Records of appliances orautos that have been replaced bull Expired warranties andcoupons obsolete policies and booklets bull Salesslips thathavebeenrecorded in your account book bull Cancelledchecksthatarenot needed for proof of purchase or income tax purposes These might be checks for groceries cash gas or other items used up
Items that should go from a handy regularly used file to a more permanent file would in-clude bull Past taxreturnsandsup-porting documentation The IRShas three years in which to audit federal tax returns but this limit does not apply if you failed to file
filed a fraudulent return or failed to report more than 25 of gross income Some financial experts rec-ommend keeping tax records for 6 years bull Health and dental insur-ance ex-p l a n a t i o n of benefits and satisfied claims if important to you for your own record Some people may want to keep a health log or diary that would record clinic and doctor informa-tion doctor visits health concerns prescription information allergies immunizations etc bull Account books for refer-ence or comparison for example energy or utility use record house-hold inventories bull Insurancepoliciessorted

(MS) A balanced diet is an in-tegral element of a healthy lifestyle for men women and children alike But while kids and young adults might be able to get away with an extra cheeseburger here or there men and women approaching 50 have less leeway According to the National In-stitute on Aging simply counting calories without regard for the foods being consumed is not enough for men and women 50 and older to maintain their long-term health Rather the NIA emphasizes the importance of choosing low-calorie foods that have a lot of the nutrients the body needs But counting calories can be an e ective and simple way to maintain a healthy weight provided those calories are coming from nutrient-rich foods e NIA advises men and women over 50 adhere to the following daily calorie intake rec-ommendations as they attempt to stay healthy into their golden years
Women
bull Not physically active 1600 calories bull Somewhat active 1800 calo-ries bull Active lifestyle between 2000 and 2200 calories
Men bull Not physically active 2000 calories bull Somewhat active between 2200 and 2400 calories bull Active lifestyle between 2400 and 2800 calories
When choosing foods to eat the NIA recommends eating many di erent colors and types of veg-etables and fruits Phytochemicals are substances that occur naturally in plants and there are thousands of these substances o ering vari-ous bene ts e Produce for Better Health Foundation notes that a var-ied colorful diet incorporates lots of di erent types of phytochemicals which the PBH says have disease-preventing properties e NIA also advises that men
and women over 50 make sure at least half the grains in their diets are whole grains Numerous studies have discovered the various bene ts of whole grains which are loaded with protein ber antioxidants and other nutrients Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk for diseases such as type 2 diabetes heart disease and some types of can-cer Another potential hurdle men and women over 50 may encounter is a change in their sense of smell and taste A personrsquos sense of smell may fade with age and because smell and taste are so closely relat-ed foods enjoyed for years may no longer tantalize the taste buds at can be problematic as many people instinctually add more salt to foods
they nd bland According to the US O ce of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion older adults should consume no more than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day at equates to roughly 34 teaspoon of salt Older men and women should resist the temptation to use salt to add avor to foods instead opting for healthy foods that they can still smell and taste In addition men and women should mention any loss of their sense of smell to their physicians as such a loss may indi-cate the presence of Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease or Alzheimerrsquos disease Maintaining a healthy diet af-ter 50 may require some hard work and discipline But the long-term bene ts of a healthy diet make the extra e ort well worth it

(MS) Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an ef-fort to prevent or delay the cogni-tive decline that a ects millions of seniors across the globe Itrsquos easy to overlook the impor-tance of keeping the brain healthy However a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration memory loss and a host of other is-sues Sometimes by the time symp-toms present themselves it may be too late to reverse any damage Research suggests that a com-bination of nutrition and mental social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity Har-vard Medical School also states that volunteering caring for others and pursuing hobbies may bene t the brains of older adults
A study published in the Ar-chives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal pro-tein depositions (amyloid plaques and neuro brillary tangles) in the brain a hallmark of Alzheimerrsquos disease Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Al-zheimerrsquos disease In addition to the suggestions mentioned above those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies bull Start exercising the brain ear-ly on A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal exam-ined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70 Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants Itrsquos never too early to put a brain health plan into motion bull Read more books Reading
can open individuals up to new vo-cabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability Enrolling in an education course at a local college community center or online also may be bene cial bull Hit the gym Several stud-ies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline is could be because exercise elevates heart rate which pumps more blood to the brain and body bull Supplement with DHA DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dom-inant in the brain Adhere to a Med-iterranean diet which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3 including sh and mono-unsatu-rated fats from olives olive oil nuts
and seeds Supplements also may help but individuals should con-sult with their doctors about which products to take bull Challenge the mind Men and women can engage in challeng-ing activities that stray from their routines Puzzles strategic games jigsaw puzzles or di cult hobbies can bene t the brain bull Keep a close-knit group of friends Regular conversation and social interaction is a key compo-nent of any brain health wellness planSlowing cognitive decline and pro-moting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages

(MS) When the time comes to bid farewell to conference calls meetings and daily commutes retir-ees have open schedules to ll with whichever activities they choose Travel is one exciting way to pass the time Traveling can be a rewarding prospect for active seniors particu-larly those who successfully pre-planned for retirement and have the income to fund various excursions Many seniors both in the United States and Canada nd that travel tops their to-do lists once they re-tire According to Senior Travel magazine new travel options are emerging for newly minted retirees looking for something a little di er-ent from the status quo e list of destinations retirees have at their disposal is limitless e following ideas are some of the more popular ways retirees choose
to travel bull Road trips rule Taking to the highways and byways is an excellent way to see the country Seniors can customize their routes depending on which places they want to visit RV travel can be as comfortable or as rustic as travelers prefer Many seniors spend months traveling in their campers which o er many of the same amenities of home Camp-sites and special RV hook-up sites o er the other necessities of travel-ing the open road bull Genealogical tourism is pop-ular People hoping to trace their ancestry and visit their ancestral homelands are one of the fastest-growing travel segments Visiting an old church in Europe where an-cestors were married or buying food from a market in which a great aunt or uncle once worked leads retirees on many international adventures
Such trips provide travelers with a unique opportunity to understand their roots up close and personal while enjoying some international travel along the way bull Exotic tours can be excit-ing destinations History bu s or adventure-seeking couples may be particularly attracted to exotic travel destinations that are slightly o of the beaten path Travel tours may take vacationers to destina-tions such as excavation sites or backpacking through the rainforest With passport in hand seniors can go just about anywhere their desires take them bull Enjoy a relaxing seaside trip A seaside vacation can be the per-fect trip for seniors who want to put their feet up and sip some cocktails while watching the waves lap the shores Many beach resorts o er all-inclusive packages for di erent age

High blood pressure is a big problem According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure In Canada in 2014 slightly less than 18 percent of Ca-nadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure While such figures might be frightening Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that there are some sim-ple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure bullOptforheart-healthyfoodsInstead of foods that are high in sodium eat a diet that is rich in whole grains fruits vegetables and lean proteins Check labels be-fore buying prepared foods at the grocery store as many such foods are high in sodium bullLookforfoodsthatcontainprobiotics Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure Probiot-ics are consumable live bacteria and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing researchers believe probiotics may
produce chemicals that when ab-sorbed in the blood stream may activate receptors in the blood ves-sels to lower blood pressure bull Lose weight People withhigh blood pressure who are car-rying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates ex-tra weight can cause injury to the heart Dropping those pounds especially through physical activ-ity that can boost heart health can help men and women lower their blood pressure

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

(MS) A balanced diet is an in-tegral element of a healthy lifestyle for men women and children alike But while kids and young adults might be able to get away with an extra cheeseburger here or there men and women approaching 50 have less leeway According to the National In-stitute on Aging simply counting calories without regard for the foods being consumed is not enough for men and women 50 and older to maintain their long-term health Rather the NIA emphasizes the importance of choosing low-calorie foods that have a lot of the nutrients the body needs But counting calories can be an e ective and simple way to maintain a healthy weight provided those calories are coming from nutrient-rich foods e NIA advises men and women over 50 adhere to the following daily calorie intake rec-ommendations as they attempt to stay healthy into their golden years
Women
bull Not physically active 1600 calories bull Somewhat active 1800 calo-ries bull Active lifestyle between 2000 and 2200 calories
Men bull Not physically active 2000 calories bull Somewhat active between 2200 and 2400 calories bull Active lifestyle between 2400 and 2800 calories
When choosing foods to eat the NIA recommends eating many di erent colors and types of veg-etables and fruits Phytochemicals are substances that occur naturally in plants and there are thousands of these substances o ering vari-ous bene ts e Produce for Better Health Foundation notes that a var-ied colorful diet incorporates lots of di erent types of phytochemicals which the PBH says have disease-preventing properties e NIA also advises that men
and women over 50 make sure at least half the grains in their diets are whole grains Numerous studies have discovered the various bene ts of whole grains which are loaded with protein ber antioxidants and other nutrients Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk for diseases such as type 2 diabetes heart disease and some types of can-cer Another potential hurdle men and women over 50 may encounter is a change in their sense of smell and taste A personrsquos sense of smell may fade with age and because smell and taste are so closely relat-ed foods enjoyed for years may no longer tantalize the taste buds at can be problematic as many people instinctually add more salt to foods
they nd bland According to the US O ce of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion older adults should consume no more than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day at equates to roughly 34 teaspoon of salt Older men and women should resist the temptation to use salt to add avor to foods instead opting for healthy foods that they can still smell and taste In addition men and women should mention any loss of their sense of smell to their physicians as such a loss may indi-cate the presence of Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease or Alzheimerrsquos disease Maintaining a healthy diet af-ter 50 may require some hard work and discipline But the long-term bene ts of a healthy diet make the extra e ort well worth it

(MS) Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an ef-fort to prevent or delay the cogni-tive decline that a ects millions of seniors across the globe Itrsquos easy to overlook the impor-tance of keeping the brain healthy However a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration memory loss and a host of other is-sues Sometimes by the time symp-toms present themselves it may be too late to reverse any damage Research suggests that a com-bination of nutrition and mental social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity Har-vard Medical School also states that volunteering caring for others and pursuing hobbies may bene t the brains of older adults
A study published in the Ar-chives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal pro-tein depositions (amyloid plaques and neuro brillary tangles) in the brain a hallmark of Alzheimerrsquos disease Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Al-zheimerrsquos disease In addition to the suggestions mentioned above those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies bull Start exercising the brain ear-ly on A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal exam-ined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70 Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants Itrsquos never too early to put a brain health plan into motion bull Read more books Reading
can open individuals up to new vo-cabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability Enrolling in an education course at a local college community center or online also may be bene cial bull Hit the gym Several stud-ies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline is could be because exercise elevates heart rate which pumps more blood to the brain and body bull Supplement with DHA DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dom-inant in the brain Adhere to a Med-iterranean diet which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3 including sh and mono-unsatu-rated fats from olives olive oil nuts
and seeds Supplements also may help but individuals should con-sult with their doctors about which products to take bull Challenge the mind Men and women can engage in challeng-ing activities that stray from their routines Puzzles strategic games jigsaw puzzles or di cult hobbies can bene t the brain bull Keep a close-knit group of friends Regular conversation and social interaction is a key compo-nent of any brain health wellness planSlowing cognitive decline and pro-moting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages

(MS) When the time comes to bid farewell to conference calls meetings and daily commutes retir-ees have open schedules to ll with whichever activities they choose Travel is one exciting way to pass the time Traveling can be a rewarding prospect for active seniors particu-larly those who successfully pre-planned for retirement and have the income to fund various excursions Many seniors both in the United States and Canada nd that travel tops their to-do lists once they re-tire According to Senior Travel magazine new travel options are emerging for newly minted retirees looking for something a little di er-ent from the status quo e list of destinations retirees have at their disposal is limitless e following ideas are some of the more popular ways retirees choose
to travel bull Road trips rule Taking to the highways and byways is an excellent way to see the country Seniors can customize their routes depending on which places they want to visit RV travel can be as comfortable or as rustic as travelers prefer Many seniors spend months traveling in their campers which o er many of the same amenities of home Camp-sites and special RV hook-up sites o er the other necessities of travel-ing the open road bull Genealogical tourism is pop-ular People hoping to trace their ancestry and visit their ancestral homelands are one of the fastest-growing travel segments Visiting an old church in Europe where an-cestors were married or buying food from a market in which a great aunt or uncle once worked leads retirees on many international adventures
Such trips provide travelers with a unique opportunity to understand their roots up close and personal while enjoying some international travel along the way bull Exotic tours can be excit-ing destinations History bu s or adventure-seeking couples may be particularly attracted to exotic travel destinations that are slightly o of the beaten path Travel tours may take vacationers to destina-tions such as excavation sites or backpacking through the rainforest With passport in hand seniors can go just about anywhere their desires take them bull Enjoy a relaxing seaside trip A seaside vacation can be the per-fect trip for seniors who want to put their feet up and sip some cocktails while watching the waves lap the shores Many beach resorts o er all-inclusive packages for di erent age

High blood pressure is a big problem According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure In Canada in 2014 slightly less than 18 percent of Ca-nadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure While such figures might be frightening Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that there are some sim-ple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure bullOptforheart-healthyfoodsInstead of foods that are high in sodium eat a diet that is rich in whole grains fruits vegetables and lean proteins Check labels be-fore buying prepared foods at the grocery store as many such foods are high in sodium bullLookforfoodsthatcontainprobiotics Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure Probiot-ics are consumable live bacteria and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing researchers believe probiotics may

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

(MS) A balanced diet is an in-tegral element of a healthy lifestyle for men women and children alike But while kids and young adults might be able to get away with an extra cheeseburger here or there men and women approaching 50 have less leeway According to the National In-stitute on Aging simply counting calories without regard for the foods being consumed is not enough for men and women 50 and older to maintain their long-term health Rather the NIA emphasizes the importance of choosing low-calorie foods that have a lot of the nutrients the body needs But counting calories can be an e ective and simple way to maintain a healthy weight provided those calories are coming from nutrient-rich foods e NIA advises men and women over 50 adhere to the following daily calorie intake rec-ommendations as they attempt to stay healthy into their golden years
Women
bull Not physically active 1600 calories bull Somewhat active 1800 calo-ries bull Active lifestyle between 2000 and 2200 calories
Men bull Not physically active 2000 calories bull Somewhat active between 2200 and 2400 calories bull Active lifestyle between 2400 and 2800 calories
When choosing foods to eat the NIA recommends eating many di erent colors and types of veg-etables and fruits Phytochemicals are substances that occur naturally in plants and there are thousands of these substances o ering vari-ous bene ts e Produce for Better Health Foundation notes that a var-ied colorful diet incorporates lots of di erent types of phytochemicals which the PBH says have disease-preventing properties e NIA also advises that men
and women over 50 make sure at least half the grains in their diets are whole grains Numerous studies have discovered the various bene ts of whole grains which are loaded with protein ber antioxidants and other nutrients Whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk for diseases such as type 2 diabetes heart disease and some types of can-cer Another potential hurdle men and women over 50 may encounter is a change in their sense of smell and taste A personrsquos sense of smell may fade with age and because smell and taste are so closely relat-ed foods enjoyed for years may no longer tantalize the taste buds at can be problematic as many people instinctually add more salt to foods
they nd bland According to the US O ce of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion older adults should consume no more than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day at equates to roughly 34 teaspoon of salt Older men and women should resist the temptation to use salt to add avor to foods instead opting for healthy foods that they can still smell and taste In addition men and women should mention any loss of their sense of smell to their physicians as such a loss may indi-cate the presence of Parkinsonrsquos dis-ease or Alzheimerrsquos disease Maintaining a healthy diet af-ter 50 may require some hard work and discipline But the long-term bene ts of a healthy diet make the extra e ort well worth it

(MS) Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an ef-fort to prevent or delay the cogni-tive decline that a ects millions of seniors across the globe Itrsquos easy to overlook the impor-tance of keeping the brain healthy However a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration memory loss and a host of other is-sues Sometimes by the time symp-toms present themselves it may be too late to reverse any damage Research suggests that a com-bination of nutrition and mental social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity Har-vard Medical School also states that volunteering caring for others and pursuing hobbies may bene t the brains of older adults
A study published in the Ar-chives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal pro-tein depositions (amyloid plaques and neuro brillary tangles) in the brain a hallmark of Alzheimerrsquos disease Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Al-zheimerrsquos disease In addition to the suggestions mentioned above those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies bull Start exercising the brain ear-ly on A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal exam-ined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70 Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants Itrsquos never too early to put a brain health plan into motion bull Read more books Reading
can open individuals up to new vo-cabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability Enrolling in an education course at a local college community center or online also may be bene cial bull Hit the gym Several stud-ies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline is could be because exercise elevates heart rate which pumps more blood to the brain and body bull Supplement with DHA DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dom-inant in the brain Adhere to a Med-iterranean diet which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3 including sh and mono-unsatu-rated fats from olives olive oil nuts
and seeds Supplements also may help but individuals should con-sult with their doctors about which products to take bull Challenge the mind Men and women can engage in challeng-ing activities that stray from their routines Puzzles strategic games jigsaw puzzles or di cult hobbies can bene t the brain bull Keep a close-knit group of friends Regular conversation and social interaction is a key compo-nent of any brain health wellness planSlowing cognitive decline and pro-moting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages
Doing jigsaw and crossword puzzles can keep the brain sharp

(MS) When the time comes to bid farewell to conference calls meetings and daily commutes retir-ees have open schedules to ll with whichever activities they choose Travel is one exciting way to pass the time Traveling can be a rewarding prospect for active seniors particu-larly those who successfully pre-planned for retirement and have the income to fund various excursions Many seniors both in the United States and Canada nd that travel tops their to-do lists once they re-tire According to Senior Travel magazine new travel options are emerging for newly minted retirees looking for something a little di er-ent from the status quo e list of destinations retirees have at their disposal is limitless e following ideas are some of the more popular ways retirees choose
to travel bull Road trips rule Taking to the highways and byways is an excellent way to see the country Seniors can customize their routes depending on which places they want to visit RV travel can be as comfortable or as rustic as travelers prefer Many seniors spend months traveling in their campers which o er many of the same amenities of home Camp-sites and special RV hook-up sites o er the other necessities of travel-ing the open road bull Genealogical tourism is pop-ular People hoping to trace their ancestry and visit their ancestral homelands are one of the fastest-growing travel segments Visiting an old church in Europe where an-cestors were married or buying food from a market in which a great aunt or uncle once worked leads retirees on many international adventures
Such trips provide travelers with a unique opportunity to understand their roots up close and personal while enjoying some international travel along the way bull Exotic tours can be excit-ing destinations History bu s or adventure-seeking couples may be particularly attracted to exotic travel destinations that are slightly o of the beaten path Travel tours may take vacationers to destina-tions such as excavation sites or backpacking through the rainforest With passport in hand seniors can go just about anywhere their desires take them bull Enjoy a relaxing seaside trip A seaside vacation can be the per-fect trip for seniors who want to put their feet up and sip some cocktails while watching the waves lap the shores Many beach resorts o er all-inclusive packages for di erent age

High blood pressure is a big problem According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure In Canada in 2014 slightly less than 18 percent of Ca-nadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure While such figures might be frightening Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that there are some sim-ple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure bullOptforheart-healthyfoodsInstead of foods that are high in sodium eat a diet that is rich in whole grains fruits vegetables and lean proteins Check labels be-fore buying prepared foods at the grocery store as many such foods are high in sodium bullLookforfoodsthatcontainprobiotics Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure Probiot-ics are consumable live bacteria and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing researchers believe probiotics may
produce chemicals that when ab-sorbed in the blood stream may activate receptors in the blood ves-sels to lower blood pressure bull Lose weight People withhigh blood pressure who are car-rying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates ex-tra weight can cause injury to the heart Dropping those pounds especially through physical activ-ity that can boost heart health can help men and women lower their blood pressure

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

(MS) Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an ef-fort to prevent or delay the cogni-tive decline that a ects millions of seniors across the globe Itrsquos easy to overlook the impor-tance of keeping the brain healthy However a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration memory loss and a host of other is-sues Sometimes by the time symp-toms present themselves it may be too late to reverse any damage Research suggests that a com-bination of nutrition and mental social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity Har-vard Medical School also states that volunteering caring for others and pursuing hobbies may bene t the brains of older adults
A study published in the Ar-chives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal pro-tein depositions (amyloid plaques and neuro brillary tangles) in the brain a hallmark of Alzheimerrsquos disease Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Al-zheimerrsquos disease In addition to the suggestions mentioned above those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies bull Start exercising the brain ear-ly on A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal exam-ined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70 Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants Itrsquos never too early to put a brain health plan into motion bull Read more books Reading
can open individuals up to new vo-cabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability Enrolling in an education course at a local college community center or online also may be bene cial bull Hit the gym Several stud-ies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline is could be because exercise elevates heart rate which pumps more blood to the brain and body bull Supplement with DHA DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dom-inant in the brain Adhere to a Med-iterranean diet which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3 including sh and mono-unsatu-rated fats from olives olive oil nuts

(MS) When the time comes to bid farewell to conference calls meetings and daily commutes retir-ees have open schedules to ll with whichever activities they choose Travel is one exciting way to pass the time Traveling can be a rewarding prospect for active seniors particu-larly those who successfully pre-planned for retirement and have the income to fund various excursions Many seniors both in the United States and Canada nd that travel tops their to-do lists once they re-tire According to Senior Travel magazine new travel options are emerging for newly minted retirees looking for something a little di er-ent from the status quo e list of destinations retirees have at their disposal is limitless e following ideas are some of the more popular ways retirees choose
to travel bull Road trips rule Taking to the highways and byways is an excellent way to see the country Seniors can customize their routes depending on which places they want to visit RV travel can be as comfortable or as rustic as travelers prefer Many seniors spend months traveling in their campers which o er many of the same amenities of home Camp-sites and special RV hook-up sites o er the other necessities of travel-ing the open road bull Genealogical tourism is pop-ular People hoping to trace their ancestry and visit their ancestral homelands are one of the fastest-growing travel segments Visiting an old church in Europe where an-cestors were married or buying food from a market in which a great aunt or uncle once worked leads retirees on many international adventures
Such trips provide travelers with a unique opportunity to understand their roots up close and personal while enjoying some international travel along the way bull Exotic tours can be excit-ing destinations History bu s or adventure-seeking couples may be particularly attracted to exotic travel destinations that are slightly o of the beaten path Travel tours may take vacationers to destina-tions such as excavation sites or backpacking through the rainforest With passport in hand seniors can go just about anywhere their desires take them bull Enjoy a relaxing seaside trip A seaside vacation can be the per-fect trip for seniors who want to put their feet up and sip some cocktails while watching the waves lap the shores Many beach resorts o er all-inclusive packages for di erent age

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

can open individuals up to new vo-cabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability Enrolling in an education course at a local college community center or online also may be bene cial bull Hit the gym Several stud-ies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline is could be because exercise elevates heart rate which pumps more blood to the brain and body bull Supplement with DHA DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dom-inant in the brain Adhere to a Med-iterranean diet which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3 including sh and mono-unsatu-rated fats from olives olive oil nuts
and seeds Supplements also may help but individuals should con-sult with their doctors about which products to take bull Challenge the mind Men and women can engage in challeng-ing activities that stray from their routines Puzzles strategic games jigsaw puzzles or di cult hobbies can bene t the brain bull Keep a close-knit group of friends Regular conversation and social interaction is a key compo-nent of any brain health wellness planSlowing cognitive decline and pro-moting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable
Take frequent breaks Getting a break from caregiv-ing and setting aside time for your-self can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress Whenever possible have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoul-ders Being a caregiver can be a re-warding but challenging role to play Caregivers should keep their health a priority

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time

High blood pressure is a big problem According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure In Canada in 2014 slightly less than 18 percent of Ca-nadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure While such figures might be frightening Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that there are some sim-ple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure bullOptforheart-healthyfoodsInstead of foods that are high in sodium eat a diet that is rich in whole grains fruits vegetables and lean proteins Check labels be-fore buying prepared foods at the grocery store as many such foods are high in sodium bullLookforfoodsthatcontainprobiotics Johns Hopkins Medi-cine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure Probiot-ics are consumable live bacteria and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing researchers believe probiotics may
produce chemicals that when ab-sorbed in the blood stream may activate receptors in the blood ves-sels to lower blood pressure bull Lose weight People withhigh blood pressure who are car-rying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates ex-tra weight can cause injury to the heart Dropping those pounds especially through physical activ-ity that can boost heart health can help men and women lower their blood pressure

(MS) Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive These adult chil-dren in turn may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disabilityBecoming a family caregiver fre-quently is a tough choice to make It requires patience and time and can be emotionally and physically taxing An estimated 435 million adults in the United States have provided un-paid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months accord-ing to the National Alliance for Caregiv-ing and AARP Public Policy Insti-tute Itrsquos not uncommon for caregiv-ers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of care-giving The Mayo Clinic says people
who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health Some signs of caregiver stress include bullFeelingoverwhelmedorcon-stantly worried bullFeelingtiredmostofthetime bull Gaining or losing a lot ofweight bull Becoming easily irritated orangry
bull Losing inter-est in activities you used to enjoy bull Having fre-quent headaches bodily pain or other physical problems
Some caregiv-ers even resort to drugs and alcohol to self-medicate which can lead to further issues To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress individu-als should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the
added stress of caring for a loved one These suggestions are just a start
Donrsquot strive for perfection It isnrsquot possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day People are not perfect and mistakes will be made Do not punish your-self if you lash out or simply need a break
Eat healthy As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress
Pay attention to mood changes Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least ex-
pect it Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelm-ing Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood sleeping patterns appetite and the like become no-ticeable

(MS) Companion animals bring great joy to their owners The unconditional love cats and dogs provide appeals to people of all ages While many people associate pets with kids who canrsquot wait to welcome the first cat or dog into their homes pets can benefit aging men and women as well Itrsquos not uncommon for seniors to feel lonely or depressed when they retire their children move away or they lose a spouse or close friend or friends The American Humane Society states that stud-ies show pets help seniors over-come loneliness and depression by providing affection company and entertainment Pets also provide much-needed mental stimulation and many pet owners find their pets help them become more physically active as well Seniors who adopt pets may also feel a sense of purpose when
helping animals who may not have anywhere to live This is particularly true of older companion animals which many young families are understandably hesitant to adopt Mature pets might be an ideal fit for seniors When seniors are look-ing to adopt a pet there are various reasons why older pets or particular animals might be the perfect fit for them bull Adult pets may already be house trained saving seniors the trouble and effort of training them bull Seniors may find cats fit their lifestyles more than dogs as cats are less active and do not need to be walked or played with as much as dogs Cats also are small and eas-ily maneuverable meaning even seniors who have arthritis or other physical limitations can easily care for cats Many cats are also content to spend long periods of time sleep-ing on their ownersrsquo laps
bull Small dogs that can be active within the house might be a good idea as well especially for seniors with mobility issues Theyrsquore also easily transported to and from vet appointments
Itrsquos important that seniors care-
fully weigh the benefits of adopting a pet against any limitations they may have Having a backup plan for care is advantageous as well Seniors should not adopt a pet if they an-ticipate frequent travel or medical care that requires they be away from home for long periods of time
